Chapter 15

Jimin walked past the security door of his building once again letting his eye scan, typing in the pass code right after to let the other in. The two were still wet from head to toe however they were dried enough at this point that the water was not dropping down them anymore . As soon the glass slid open he walked away knowing the younger was following him. He ignored the stares the two were getting. Jungkook quietly followed Jimin while letting his eyes take in the details of the place and the people.Failing to notice a pair of eyes looking at him intensely, pain reflecting those orbs.

As they reached the hallway there stood two of the guards as always securing the door scanning the card for Jimin to pass through however when it was Jungkook's turn, one of them stepped forward checking him up for any weapon. Jimin growled in annoyance grabbing Jungkook's arm yanking him away from the guards. He was hating the wait and the shitty process.

Jimin :"He is with me, ofcourse he is alright to go in to stand here at first place." Annoyance spat out of his mouth as he dragged Jungkook with him. The anger was taking over him, his playful mood was nowhere to come out any soon. He was mad, he was mad at Jungkook for choosing this but he couldn't stop him knowing he was not safe outside. Apesters were going to kill him as soon as he would step out of the building without protection.

Jungkook :"Are you mad because I killed them? Will it cause you or your gang trouble?" Jimin was mad at himself for getting Jungkook in this. He was mad at Jungkook for stepping out of car and showing his damn face. The least thing he cared about was the murder.

Jimin :" I don't give two shits about whether they live or not. Let me ask you something." He stopped in his tracks as he turned to face the other. "Do you know what this place is? Do you even have any idea who my boss is?" the silence that took over gave him his answer earning a scoff out of him. He really was going crazy at this point

Jimin :"Heard the underground mobster that escaped the prison two months ago?yeah that's the one you are going to meet and join right now." the younger let the information sink in him taking the time to process it. He was surprised, that was the least he expected but what really scared him was.....He felt no fear. The mob was something he feared his whole life like any other citizen would but right now he was going to work for it and he felt no fear. Maybe he had already done way more than he could even imagine.

Jungkook :"You don't know how it feels..... When I get those nightmares. You don't know the taste of it." His eyes spoke desperation, desperation of never facing those nightmares again. "There were cameras there, police arrived there. We didn't hide the bodies this time. Those people saw me. I have so many reasons to make this decision. If those guys won't kill me then police will lock me up and I want.... None.... I just don't"

Jimin :"How did you shoot? It was almost perfect."

Jungkook :"It... Uh I don't know I used to shoot balloons to buy my girlfriend plushies?" The other scoffed in disbelief. It took him a long time to learn shooting and this boy was just.... Insane. Shaking his head, shrugging it off mumbling a whatever he knocked at the office door waiting for the permission. Once he received it he eyed Jungkook once giving a determined nod and went in knowing the other was following.

RM :"Why are you still here?" he asked even if he knew Jimin was attacked midway.

Jimin :"They attacked me midway, Jungkook here..." He paused, he was not sure if RM was really going to accept him or not. "He killed three of them, they saw him. He wants to join"

At that RM eyed the new boy closely, Jungkook stood there with confidence oozing out of him. He didn't look nervous as he was supposed to be. To be honest he didn't expect the mobster to be this young and handsome. He thought he might some oldie with a beard and most probably an alcoholic. This was something else. Another side of story he wanted to explore.

"Return" RM said, "To wherever you came from. I am warning you. This world is not for you."

Jungkook :"You can try giving me a chance at least."

RM :"In this world, there is nothing like chances. Either you do it or die." He eyed the younger who stayed still in his place looking way too determined to just leave. As if he would never come here if he had to leave. "You killed three of them so you probably think what's worse than a murder. You actually came here to escape the reality. In here, you hands will have to commit sins your brain wouldn't be able to handle."

Jungkook :"I will do it"

The two stepped out of the room, Jimin was asked to show him around. He was accepted however also given a warning. "Now that you are a part of us, you came here after your choice. However, you will exit this hole after our choice and that will be when you won't be breathing anymore."

Each an every word that slipped RM's tongue was terrifying yet intimidating at the same time. He quietly followed Jimin's steps ahead of him sticking his eyes on the ground. His brain had a lot to process at the same time. Now that he had no chance of returning he started questioning himself. Was this really right?

He stopped in his tracks when his eyes fell on a girl's converse shoes, yellow and blue colored doodles were painted on it which he seemed to instantly remember. Wait, he drew those. He held his breath shifting his eyes up to have a clear look of the girl. It was her.

Jungkook :"YN"

"What are you doing here?" For an instance he wanted to believe he was hallucinating things. Maybe his mental health wasn't doing much fine anymore. Maybe his trauma increased to a length he started hallucinating but once her voice reached his hears he needed to think twice.

Jimin :'You both know each other? "so she was real.

Jungkook :" What are you doing here? "Once he was brought out of the confusion he grabbed her wrist looking deadly in her eyes out of panic. She was not supposed to be at such place. His life was not going the way he always imagined. Shit happened, shit that he wouldn't even see in his nightmares but the least he could ever tolerate was his YN standing within the premises of such a deadly place.

YN :"I asked that first." Her eyes stared back in his, those brown orbs that reflected so much pain as if what they feared the most stood in front of them. Jungkook's grip tightened a bit earning a hiss out of her. He was getting impatient. He wanted to take her and run away before anyone could land eyes on her however he had no idea since when she was there.

Jimin :"Look you two, let me show you room and solve it there. Don't cause a scene here." Jungkook slowly let go of her wrist quietly following jimin once again. RM told Jungkook he will be given a room here just like everyone else however that was his choice if he wanted to stay here or outside. If he decided to stay out they won't take his responsibility or provide protection till he doesn't make a special spot in here by proving his loyalty. Jungkook yet had to think about how to talk this out with YN.

The two got in elevator which took them up five floors, as the doors ding opened a hallway appeared in front of them with several rooms. Once they reached their room silence fell over. Both of them needed time to process what was happening in their lives. YN sat down on bed looking down at her lap. She felt the pain inside her growing more and more till she felt like she was going to cry. A lump formed up in her throat which cracked her voice.

YN :"You promised me, you won't meet him." Her low cracked voice brought his heart to ache. He didn't realize what he has been doing till now. Now that he had her right in front of her with a heart that was broken. He stepped near her kneeling down in front of her holding her hands in her lap.

Jungkook :"Please tell me why are you here?"

YN:" You never broke your promise before.You never lied to me before."

Jungkook :"YN..."

YN :"They brought me here. That day when the explosion took place and city went in lock down. After you went home to work with your friend a guy came for the coffee. He went away after that but after a few hours suddenly he returned and started talking to my manager. They brought me here forcefully just to make there boss coffee. As a damn coffee maker. I was so scared..... I was..... So so.. Scared. "She looked down biting her lips as tears started streaming down.

YN :" I called you to tell that and ask you to come and take me from here but then signals went away. I stayed here for the whole time the city was in a lock down. I was so scared.... All alone by myself. No one seemed to be a nice person here. But I managed myself and when I tried telling you I couldn't.... I don't know the you now Jungkook.... I don't know what happened to you. You were never like this. The old Jungkook would never lie or hide anything from me and the reason I didn't tell you was the old Jungkook I knew would go on panic mode and do everything to get me out of here and I didn't want you to do anything stupid and get in trouble. These people are so dangerous.... They are from a completely opposite world. "

Jungkook :" You.... Come here instead of Cafe? "

YN :" After you drop me off to Cafe I come here and then go back there before you come to pick me up. I thought I wouldn't be able to hide it for long. What if you come to Cafe out of nowhere but I guess..... Now... I know where you have been busy to visit me anymore. "

Jungkook :" YN."

YN :" YN what! Why are you meeting him! You knew he is not a good person! What are you even doing here? You seemed to be so closed to him and what he is doing Jungkook. "

Jungkook :" Stop it YN! He helped me escape. I didn't meet him for a whole week after I promised you but then"He stood up and told her the whole story including his traumas, casino and the incident that occurred today. Both of them needed time to take in everything they revealed to each other. Never they ever hid anything before. The biggest and shittiest things were happening to the two and both of them were unaware of it. A sudden feeling of unfamiliarity spread through their chests.

YN :"You... Didn't trust me enough to tell me that?" Her eyes teared up all over again. Jungkook went to Jimin and the fucking casinos but never tried coming to her, sharing his problem and seeking comfort in her. She felt as if she was suddenly thrown out of the whole picture. As of she didn't matter anymore.

Jungkook :" I can say the same."

YN :"No you can't. I didn't tell you to keep you out of the danger and you just...."

Jungkook :"And I didn't tell you because you would ask me to inform the police. I didn't want that. They wouldn't listen to me."

YN :"You still should have listened to me! I told you to stay away from him. If you came to me. I would help you. I would do anything to bring you comfort. You wouldn't be going to those shitty casinos and this wouldn't happen. You wouldn't kill people, you wouldn't have to fear getting caught. Why.... Why did you repay him back for something he didn't do! Why did you kill people for him!! "She yelled out crying it was all too much for her heart to handle. The more quickly she wanted to get out of here, they were struck in here forever.

Jungkook :" Stop fucking yelling! He saved my God damn life and so I returned the favor! Stop making a huge fuss." He yelled back griping his hair wanting to yell out even more but he just left the room slamming the door shut. She stood there froze on her spot, Jungkook never did yell at her before. Her breath hitched as she felt her hands shaking out of anxiety. Since childhood Jungkook was the only person to be beside her through everything. Whenever she had the hard time, he would sit by her and stay till she was feeling better. But this time he left..... He left her to face it all by herself and this was the time she knew..... He was changing.

"How did it go?" Jimin asked once the two settled down in an empty room unfamiliar to the youngest of the two. For a moment he regretted asking the question, by the looks of Jungkook, nothing seemed to be going great.

"You knew she was working here? " Jungkook asked, it was more like a statement rather than a question. His elbows rested on his knees as he ran a hand through his hanging head in defeat. "How would I know she is your girlfriend. Moreover we have people here for everything. It's not only those who do the business, people for cleaning, cooking and stuff like that ofcourse we need it. Someone must have liked her coffee and brought her over for RM. He is always way too strict about everything he eats or drink. It should be perfect. "

Jungkook :" Yeah, she is not doing that shit business so she cane leave right? "

" Yeah I guess as soon as we find someone else for that but don't you think it's good? As long as she stay here she stays safe. Moreover you are here too with her. "Jimin suggested" The decision Upto you "he added not to bring any suspicious in his sentence. Jungkook didn't say anything further. He really wanted her to move out of here somewhere so far away where even the shadow of this shit won't fall on her however he was starting to take Jimin's words in consideration. "What do you do? You know... to handle that pain inside when it's too much."

Jimin :"Just grab a drink or two."

Jungkook :"Yeah, drink it is then." he accepted, without pushing it any further. Jimin stood up grabbing two glasses along with ice cubes and alcohol bottles. As he poured down the drink in glasses he plopped down on the single seated couch with his back leaning against right side of the arm rest and legs dangling down the left arm-rest. He smoothly drank down the whole glass pouring down more as if he was drinking water. However Once Jungkook started it he had to give himself time to adjust the taste. He had to admit, the shit tasted so good. It's not like it was his first time drinking. He have tried beer before but here he had no idea what alcohol it was but it tasted so awesome.

One glass started turning in to several as with each of them his grip around the glass kept tightening. His eyes darkened more and more as he let the alcohol take over his senses. He could only think about everything he was going through. Everything YN went through but his needle struck at a point-those nightmares. How he felt so helpless and weak. A sudden feeling rage started taking place in his veins as he gulped down the whole glass in one shot placing the glass down on the table with slight force creating a thud sound. The least he wanted to feel anymore was ;weakness.

Even after drinking quite a lot Jimin was still in his senses quietly watching the other noticing his changes. He didn't try comforting him or even asking what he was going through. The other accepted this life and he knew he had a long way to go from here own.

_______________________________________

YN stayed awake as long as she could staying in the room where he left her. She waited and kept waiting for him till she fell asleep on the floor. Her back leaning against the bed as her arms were wrapped around her knees brought up to her chest. She still had tears dried on her cheeks.

Fear - amongst all the emotional burst out she was going through. Fear won over all of them.Fear of what they got themselves into. Fear of never be able to escape this place. Fear of how Jungkook was changing and the biggest fear..... How much more he had to change.
